Kingdom Hearts: Decolor Censura RP

[Dave 5,715]

{Thet: Twilight Town; Market Street}Thet looked around to make sure no one had caught her mumbling into her comm, then she picked up her pace. A few seconds later, she "bumped" into Le Chef."Oh, I'm sorry." She said apologetically.She got a good look at Le Chef's face and her face screwed up in concentration."Don't I know you for somewhere, sir?"

 

Le Chef grunted a bit at the impact, taken off guard momentarily. However, the immediate apology did more than enough to sweeten his disposition, and he removed his hat to bow to the lady. "There is no problem whatsoever, my lady," he said. "As for knowing me? Ah, it is possible, though one wonders what for. I shall only hope that it is good things that you recall when you hear the name of Le Chef." He returned his cap to his head. "But, you will pardon me, I'm afraid I cannot return the favor of recognition. Who, might I ask, is this mademoiselle whom fortune has guided my way?"

[Elrandir 783]

{Lunaris and Hotaru}Hotaru nodded at Cron's comment."I don't want to imagine the complexity of Alexi's mind. Something tells me that I should leave him be or else I will get in big toubles."Lunaris was eager to go. While Twilight Town was her home, most of her memories were bad ones, except those involving her current Master, his mother and her parents."Sure! The faster the better." Luna said. "I would like to go back and see the result of this mission."Saying that the blond girl walked into the portal."That girl is full of energy." Hotaru muttered. "Perhaps too much energy for her own good."Saying that the black haired boy followed his partner into the portal.

[Kaneki Ken 1,516]

Still looking out of space while entranced to a chillout trance song, I was able to hear what Sarah said. "Well then, if the universe got tougher in the past years, then we just need to teach ourselves to get tougher. Getting Zion stronger was nearly impossible, but hence the keyword 'nearly.' It is still possible to power Zion up to match the strongest person. How you may ask? I don't know yet. The only thing that matters is regrouping with the fleet and plan a raid to rescue Zion. Don't forget, we are not the only one's after her. Decolor will take action to kidnap her if we don't do anything. Right?"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Alexi: Hollow Bastion; Old Castle}

Alexi caught Zandra's Keyblade easily in one hand, without taking his eyes off Severus. His eyes were a mix of anger and cold calculation.

"Whatever made you think I was a Wielder?" He asked, coldly. "I suggest you wait for facts before you assume something."

The Grey Monk flipped the blade around expertly to look at it's pommel.

"The reason you and I can touch this blade is because it isn't real." He explained, tapping where the blade's keychain should have been, but wasn't. "It is a copy of a Keyblade, limited amount of power and not near as good a weapon as an actual Keyblade. Only neophytes who..."

Alexi's voice trailed off as a piece of information clicked in his mind.

"There might be a chance for this one after all." He thought.

"Congratulations, Severus." Alexi said. "You may have spared the one neophyte who might earn a second chance. Her life is yours. But first, there is something I need to do. Place her against a wall and give her I whiff of this."

Alexi tossed Severus the smelling salts bottle.

"She should walk up, and I will talk to her. At some point, I will try to hurt her with her own blade. I suggest you try to stop me then."

Giving Chi a glance to see what he was doing, Alexi prepared for what had to happen next.

 

{Thet: Twilight Town; Market Street}

Thet's face lit up with a smile when she heard Le Chef name himself.

"Oh, yes." She said. "I know of your work, monsieur. I have once eaten a leftover meal that you had prepared. It was some of the best food I had ever eaten."

She grimaced slightly.

"Pardon my rudeness for not introducing myself. My name is Thetonya Degal, but my friends call me Thet. If you don't mind me asking, what brings you to Twilight Town?"

 

{Cron: Home; Main building foyer}

Cron followed Lunaris and Hotaru through the portal to Home. The lights of the main tower's foyer twinkled softly as the three travelers appeared. Cron snapped her fingers, deconstruction the portal.

"You two up for some drinks?" The assassin asked. "I'm buying. Least i could do."

[Elrandir 783]

Lunaris looked beyond happy at the mention of drinks while Hotaru slowly looked at his partner."Now, now Luna. Remember you can't handle the"The blond girl waved her hand dismissively at her Master before pointing towards the exit."No one care! It's time for drinks, Hotaru!" She said happily. "Free drinks! You can't argue with that, right? Besides, it would be a good opportunity for you to bond with another member from the team besides me. You can't always be the outcast of the group when I'm not around."The Young Keyblade Wielder sighed and shrugged at the Sniper girl's antics before looking at the Ulthor Assassin."While she might be responsible for me while I'm here, you should be responsible for her in case she have too many drinks."Lunaris was already getting impatient while waiting for the two Decolor members."Hurry up! The drinks are calling me!"

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"Can do, doc." He said sarcastically. "Sorry to wake you up girl..." He whisperd, opening the vial." Lord knows you of all people need it..." He held if near her nose, his sword away for now...

[Saber Lily 1,543]

Zion looked saddened. "So...I'd guess two hundred years have passed..." She looked at her dress, then sighed. "So what now, Queen Mercedes? I am a Keyblade Master, but does the current...I guess 'council' of masters recognize something given two hundred years ago?" She chuckled. "Tooo bad Soren isn't here....could have always fixed it..." She looked at her bare feet. "And if anyone has a a nice pair of tennis shoes, and some comfy, thick socks. Preferably the cushy kind that have plenty of support." She grinned. "Sorry I'm a bit picky, but if I'm gonna be forced into a dress that is entirely not my color, might as well make sure the socks are right, now?"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cron: Home; Main Tower Foyer}

Cron was almost giggling at Lunaris's reaction to the invitation.

"I might have to water down yours." She teased, before she started for the door. "Come on, canteens across the square."

The assassin pushed through the doors out of the building, stepping into the light rain that was a norm for this world. As she crossed the Square, she glanced back at the rusted out hulk of some sort of hauling vehicle that blocked off a street next to the main tower. Few people knew what this world had been before the Decolor took up base here and even they didn't know what caused the now junk heap to be there. Cron imagined a couple of creepy stories about how it got there in the short walk across the square.

Once at the door to the canteen, Cron pulled the door open and stepped inside. After a quick shake to get some drops off her, she headed for behind the bar.

"Alph." She said to the bar's only occupant.

Alph nodded to his teammate, then looked back down at his drink.

 

{Alexi: Hollow Bastion; Old Castle}

Zandra started twitching at Severus's use of the smelling salts. Consciousness took some effort to get to, but it wasn't long before the dark neophyte was staring up at Severus and Alexi, her jaw set in defiance.

"What do you expect, me begging?" She demanded. "What ever you're going to do, get it over with."

Alexi held up Zandra's Keyblade copy, moving it so that light could shine of its few shiny surfaces.

"An unproven." Alexi said. "That's what you are. Did you know officers in the army throw unprovens in with regular Neophytes just to watch the bloodshed?"

Zandra said nothing, but a flicker in her eyes told Alexi that she did know that.

"Once you are given a copy, it is your only hope. Lose it, you are dead. Don't progress fast enough with it, you're dead. Is it really worth it all to possess this blade?"

"Yes." The dark neophyte said, eyeing the blade. "It can free me."

The Grey Monk smiled humorlessly.

"If it is freedom you want, I'll give you the ultimate freedom."

Alexi drew back with Zandra's Keyblade Copy, preparing to strike her with it. Zandra closed her eyes, but didn't lower her head. She would met death head on. After a moment, she heard the sound of metal cracking and breaking. She opened her eyes to see that Alexi had broken her Keyblade Copy over his knee.

"NO!!!!" She screamed.

 

{Queen Mercedes: Twilight Town; Sandlot}

"We can see to your socks and dress now, if you wish." Queen Mercedes offered. "There are some excellent shops in the market."

The Queen smiled, which was a little frigid, but still rather pleasant.

"I'm sorry about your loss, my dear, but I believe your presence here and now is now accident. We have need of you, Miss de Wynter."

[Javelin434 3,164]

{Queen Mercedes: Twilight Town; Sandlot}The small mouse's cold gaze pierced Snider, but after a few seconds, she looked away."With the Darkness and Decolor, you must expect treachery." She said, absently. "Let this service as a lesson, commander."Queen Mercedes walked over to where Zion lay."And what can someone tell me about her?"

 

((So I goofed during Zions dialogue and in the what of battle forgot that she doesnt know time passed. I'll be editing it to avoid having others edit when I get home, just giving people a heads up.))

 

When Mercedes looked upon Zion, her hands had moved to rest on her belly, golden eyes open and eyeing the Queen.

"You're not Minnie. She was waem and kind, even with in one's failure." she looked at Snider. "You remind me of Waffles." She carefully sat up, letting her hands fall to her lap. "Where is my wife, and how long have I been in crystal? The last thing I remember is allowing my Limiter to be removed, then nothing...since Sarah and Luna are here, cant be more then a few months..." she frowned. "Did something happen to King Mickey and Queen Minnie while I was asleep?"

{Queen Mercedes: Twilight Town; Sandlot}Queen Mercedes bowed her head slightly."King Mickey and Queen Minnie, my ancestors, have been dead nearly 180 years." She said, speaking softly. "From our records, you were frozen in a crystal statue for longer then that. I'm afraid anyone you would have known is dead now, Miss de Wynter."

 

Zion looked saddened. "So...I'd guess two hundred years have passed..." She looked at her dress, then sighed. "So what now, Queen Mercedes? I am a Keyblade Master, but does the current...I guess 'council' of masters recognize something given two hundred years ago?" She chuckled. "Tooo bad Soren isn't here....could have always fixed it..." She looked at her bare feet. "And if anyone has a a nice pair of tennis shoes, and some comfy, thick socks. Preferably the cushy kind that have plenty of support." She grinned. "Sorry I'm a bit picky, but if I'm gonna be forced into a dress that is entirely not my color, might as well make sure the socks are right, now?"

[Twilight Town, Sandlot]

 

As the queen gave him an icy glare, Commander Snider was unfettered and his face was unchanged at the gesture despite her royal status. He could only look stand at attention as her highness gave him a rather blunt lecture.

 

"With the Darkness and Decolor, you must expect treachery. Let this service as a lesson, commander."

"With all due respect, your highness," The commander calmly spoke back, "I have not been briefed on this 'Decolor' threat. Had I been aware of whatever it is, I would have suggested a change in protocols to the General on duty at Raven KGB."

"And what can someone tell me about her?"

"She's in the local history books, your highness. Standard knowledge for inhabitants and keybladers stationed here for extended periods. I can give a full dossier report on this girl, but for a basic synopsis, allow me to say that she is a local legend and a powerful keyblader." Although the commander didn't like the idea of having anyone who can easily beat him standing within five feet, he decided to suppress any resentment as he continued his report. "She was also the source of the crisis according to scout report, your highness."

 

Not sure if the queen caught all that, she decided instead to focus on Zion. Snider decided to relax, and motioned the surrounding troopers to maintain their defensive perimeters as Zion spoke. "You're not Minnie. She was warm and kind, even with in one's failure."

The girl looked at him. "You remind me of Waffles."

The commander was speechless as his mind blanked out for a bit, trying to figure out how he reminded the girl of a crisp, yellow, warm and fluffy pastry treat. "Wh-...What was that?"

"Where is my wife, and how long have I been in crystal? The last thing I remember is allowing my Limiter to be removed, then nothing...since Sarah and Luna are here, cant be more then a few months... Did something happen to King Mickey and Queen Minnie while I was asleep?"

"King Mickey and Queen Minnie, my ancestors, have been dead nearly 180 years. From our records, you were frozen in a crystal statue for longer then that. I'm afraid anyone you would have known is dead now, Miss de Wynter."

 "So...I'd guess two hundred years have passed... So what now, Queen Mercedes? I am a Keyblade Master, but does the current...I guess 'council' of masters recognize something given two hundred years ago? Too bad Soren isn't here....could have always fixed it...

Sorry I'm a bit picky, but if I'm gonna be forced into a dress that is entirely not my color, might as well make sure the socks are right, now?"

 

The nearby troops were biting their lips, not really sure what to think about some random keyblader addressing the queen in an informal fashion. Snider on the other hand, offered a suggestion to the out-of-place wielder. "You could always try the shops here, miss. I'm sure they'll give you 'you're that statue girl!' discounts."

[Reyn 1,755]

Emily's clock started beeping rapidly as she had gotten a message from the decolor. All that was said was: Report immediately to Light headquarters. The queen has arrived. Emily gasped and started thinking. The queen's arrived? What could've possibly happened? And why wasn't i notified earlier!?!? She quickly grabbed her rapier and ran out of her quarters. I hope that Alex is ok.... She quickly shook her head. I don't have time to think of that, i have to hurry.

 

Meanwhile, Alexander had been watching the chaos unfolding with the statue from the safety of his room this entire time. Thoughts were racing through his mind. My god.....That fight was insane, and now the queen's here? This is completely crazy! And here i am, in my room, hiding like a coward. What would Emily say if she saw me like this? Still, it's not like i can do anything now anyway. I'm not strong enough yet. He looked over to his gunblade hanging on the other side of his room. Urgh....What should i do?

[Saber Lily 1,543]

Zion sighed softly. "Ok...ay..." She looked at Snider with the classic "are you kidding me" face. "Or they'll just give it because I saved this town more times then they've had birthdays." She muttered. Standing, she twirled once. She kinda looked...almost like a Princess, showing off her dress to her mother. As she stopped and the dress settled, she put her hand on the one article of clothing that never disappeared and had been overlooked on her return: a golden keyblade necklace.

"...Is  Dawnrest still standing? It is a massive estate on the coast. It's my home." She frowned. "...and...are there any de Wynters still alive? Or did my family line end?" She asked.

 

The Yggdrasil exited hyperspace...underwater.

"Finally at Atlantica." The ship powered through said water, heading for a very deep trench. "The fleet has hidden itself in the darkest part of the world, far from patrols and sensors. We're hoping that we can find a permanent base soon...just need to find a world we can safely hide on...openly, if that makes sense." Sarah finished.

[Javelin434 3,164]

Zion sighed softly. "Ok...ay..." She looked at Snider with the classic "are you kidding me" face. "Or they'll just give it because I saved this town more times then they've had birthdays." She muttered. Standing, she twirled once. She kinda looked...almost like a Princess, showing off her dress to her mother.

"...Is  Dawnrest still standing? It is a massive estate on the coast. It's my home." She frowned. "...and...are there any de Wynters still alive? Or did my family line end?" She asked.

Commander Snider held his unemotional gaze as Zion looked at him. He was still trying to figure out how his appearance reminded the girl of waffles, then concluded that the yummy pastries were somehow ornately decorated with delicious toppings of decadently sweet yumminess of different colors centuries before he was born. If that's true, oh man I gotta get meself one of those 'old fashion' waffles! After my deployment shift, I'm gonna hafta stop by the Waffle House!

 

"Ok...ay... Or they'll just give it because I saved this town more times then they've had birthdays." 

"Good luck with that." he softly replied, "It doesn't matter if you saved their town a hundred times. They know you wield a keyblade, so you'll always be on uneasy terms with the locals here. Trust me. Besides, if the store owners just gave stuff away as a thank you gesture," he nodded to the troops, "believe me when I say they would have been out of business several times over the past couple of years."

 

"...Is  Dawnrest still standing? It is a massive estate on the coast. It's my home....and...are there any de Wynters still alive? Or did my family line end?"

Snider shrugged and decided not to answer the question as he turned to Queen Mercedes. "Your highness, any further special orders?"

[KHLegendIII 709]

Dawn looks on at Rho with a smile on her face, slightly grinning at Rho's experience with water. She can tell that Rho may not be able to swim. She is already starting to feel happy to have the "Rumor" of other Worlds confirmed, and that she has a friend now. She is still excited to see the beach. "Your Dad sounds like he was a great man. Sorry to hear about your water experiences." Said Dawn, talking to Rho with a cheerful tone in her voice.

Hotaru was looking around while Lunaris was getting her drink.

"What a strange world." He tought. "Sometimes I wonder where we are."

Lunaris returned with her drink and smiled at her partner.

"I like this place. Not many people and the never ending rain outside."

Severus felt pity for the girl. She was just like him now. Couldn't be farther from the keyblade... He looked and picked up a shard, watching it dissolve into nothing.... He turned around, looking at her with that exact feeling. Pity. "I'm sorry miss.""Copy..."Chi mumbled, the word repeating in his head.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Queen Mercedes: Twilight Town; Sandlot}

"I'm sure they would be glad to offer you their wares, free of charge." The Queen confirmed, confidently. "Nothing less should be expected."

After a moment in which the queen seemed to be looking over a mental checklist, she spoke again.

"With the war with darkness, everywhere has been hit hard. Your family estate I believe was destroyed at some point, but was rebuilt."

She gave Zion a sad smile.

"That happens a lot, now a days. Good thinks are destroyed and we just have to rebuild."

The Queen's smile changed to be a little brighter.

"I do believe a de Wynter is governor here."

After a moment of studying Zion, Mercedes finally acknowledged Snider.

"No, Commander." She answered. "You and your men may even go, if you like. Though, I do require one to remain to help Miss de Wynter if she experiences any dizziness or weakness from her long stasis."

 

{Rho: Twilight Town; Beach Train}

Rho chuckled.

"It's okay." He said. "I may not like being in water, but watching it is always cool. I spent like an hour staring at an ocean the first time I saw one."

There was a ding from the train as it slowed to the Beach Station. Rho stood up and offered Dawn a hand.

"You ready?"

 

{Freyja: Yggdrasil; Atlantica}

Freyja's image appeared beside Sarah on a console.

"Admiral." She addressed, though sounded bored with the title. "I have found an two opinions for a permeant base. One,"

The image of what looked to be a barren world took Freyja's place.

"The world of Castle Guard. Records show it was glassed from orbit 8 years ago. Since then it has fallen of the charts. Records indicate that there are still element deposits that we could mine for resources, though that could take time."

The image of Castle Guard was replaced by an image of a blue sphere, covered with electronic towers and mechanical rings.

"The space station formerly known as the Mirage Arena. It was made to be a center for recreational fighting, but did not receive enough business. It shut down aproximentally 207 years ago, but has remained in good repair. Records do not mention it, so most could have forgotten about this station."

 

{Cron & Alph: Home; Canteen}

Cron, carrying a martini shaker and glass, joined Lunaris and Hotaru.

"The rain use to annoy me." She admitted as she shook the shaker. "But now, I find it quiet relaxing. Heh, just so long as you stay in the safe areas. Now, you wanna see something impressive, you need to see the huge crater up the road, past the tower. That things got to be a mile across and its sides are as smooth as glass."

Alph looked over and glared at Hotaru.

 

{Alexi: Hollow Bastion; Old Castle}

Zandra's head was bowed and the sounds of sobbing came from her. Suddenly, she attempted to lunge forward at Alexi, but with her bonds and weakness, caused hunger and lack of sleep, she fell short. Alexi looked down at her with an unreadable expression as she looked up, tears streaming down her face, but hatred in her eyes.

"I will kill you!" She roared."I will get stronger, and I will kill you!"

Alexi squatted down so that he was closer to the prisoner.

"If we both survive what is coming, I might let you." He whispered.

Zandra deflated and just laid on the floor. Alexi stood up and looked at Severus.

"I don't suggest staying here long. Get her squared away, then you can contact me about another job. Just go to where you found me. Someone will be along to see you."

With that, the Grey Monk turned away and walked to Chi. He opened a dark corridor in front of the former pod boy.

"Come on." He said gently, but firmly. "Let me get you somewhere better then this."

[KHLegendIII 709]

Dawn smiles at Rho, and takes his hand, and get's up. She can feel heart Heart beating in joy of arriving. She listened to what Rho said about the ocean, and the thought of it made her even more excited to see the beach for the first time in her life. She is also seen blushing as she took Rho's hand. "Yeah, I'm ready." Said Dawn, talking to Rho with a cheerful tone in her voice.

[Dave 5,715]

{Thet: Twilight Town; Market Street}Thet's face lit up with a smile when she heard Le Chef name himself."Oh, yes." She said. "I know of your work, monsieur. I have once eaten a leftover meal that you had prepared. It was some of the best food I had ever eaten."She grimaced slightly."Pardon my rudeness for not introducing myself. My name is Thetonya Degal, but my friends call me Thet. If you don't mind me asking, what brings you to Twilight Town?" 

 

Le Chef moved his hands with dramatic flourish, the exact meaning of the movements uncertain, but gosh darn if it didn't look good. "Merely making a business meeting. The Ice Cream vendor here has seen the light enough to include my own delectable creations to stand on guard with his own brand of Sea Salt. Most profitable for all, especially the consumer." Then, he gestured with his hand to some of the bodies behind in the street, being cleaned up. "But, most unfortunate! To be here for a juvenile outburst from the wielders of Darkness. Ah, madam, I pardon if I overstep my boundaries, but this affair, it rings of vandals spray painting a wall for no need other than the attention and recognition that they can do so. Should there have been a point to all this, should Le Chef have been face down on the ground and awoke to find his munny purse snatched, he would be forgiving, because then an effort of this scale would be with meaning." 

 

Fiddling with his mustache, he eyed as the body of one such keyblade wielder was dragged by. "But our gifted friends here, if their impulsiveness does grow, it is a pity their strength and competence seems to do the opposite, no? There was a time in my youth when one such body would have made the papers in every world, and now we see them in piles at the hands of merely a few." Then, with a smile, "But then, perhaps not a pity at all, depending on one's point of view."

Chi followed the monk. "Copy..." He mutterd.Severus looked at Zandra. "Well..." He sat with her. "Welcome to my world. The key-less route." He got up. "Come on. Ships waiting." He looked at her. "But first." He took a dusty jacket, and tossed it to her. "That thing draws attention. Others are trying to kill neos. Like I said, it's a shame if a girl like you died."

[Saber Lily 1,543]

Sarah studied the two places. She smirked.

"I'll one up that. We take the Mirage Arena and drag it to Castle Guard. Use it as a first line of defense for our base on the surface while we rebuild." She frowns to herself, continuing to study it all. "If we take some of the cannons from the freighters and mount them, we can create a massive defense station. Mount rockets...biggest bomb we'll ever see." She smirked. "Think we can do it with out limited fleet? I think I know where to find some other ships but not many. Not that I've ever needed legions to win a war. A mere one hundred fifty of the finest will always triumph over the thousands of zealots sent our way."

 

Zion stood. "I will see my relative after I have found clothes. Come on Commander Hash Browns." She said to Snider. "You're my escort." She stretched. "Queen Mercedes, you'll find me at my family's estate after my shopping." She curtsied. "Now I should be off. My home has changed, and I wish to see it after two hundred years."

Braxen and Penny

The two keyblade mercenaries stood on a roof next to the sandlot, watching as the queen, the commander, and the once-statue talked about estates and the Decolor. "So, those must be the guys that caused the assassinations." Braxen whispered to Penny.

 

Penny clentched her fists. She'd heard about the Decolor, and how they loved to kill keybladers, no matter what side they were on. "Let's go, she whispered, and began walking away.

 

Braxen was about to follow when a loose roof shingle gave way underneath him, causing him to lose balance and tumble into the sandlot, a mere few yards away from the queen. "Ugh, my head." he groaned to himself.

[Kaneki Ken 1,516]

I looked at Sarah "I remember reading up on the Mirage Arena. If the systems are still operable, we can use it as a virtual training facility, and get stronger, as well as improving team coordination. And who knows what we could find at Castle Guard? Hopefully, some interesting and beneficial items."

[Reyn 1,755]

Brandon got a beep from his clock, and quickly looked at what it said. "Port royal? Never heard of that world before....Oh well, who cares? Im getting the chances to get out and do something at least." He quickly left his quarters and turned his keyblade into a glider. HE then tapped the pad on his shoulder and keyblade armor appeared all over his body. He then jumped onto his glider and headed out into space.

{Lunaris and Hotaru}"You're right. The sound of rain can be so relaxing."The blond girl finished her drink and quickly went for another one."I wonder what was supposed to be there in the past." She said once she got back. "Something big enough to leave a crater that wide must have been impressive."Hotaru was looking outside through the window. The dim neon lights outside made him feel nostalgic, it was like the world itself was trying to communicate with him and share its story. That was until the young Keyblade Wielder felt someone was looking at him. Hotaru saw from the reflection of the window that Alph was glaring at him."Oh great." He thought. "I haven't done anything and this happen?"The black haired boy turned around and silently stared at Alph.

{Rho: Twilight Town; Beach Station}

Rho led Dawn out of the train and onto the platform of the Beachfront Train Staion. It was a little smaller then the main hub in Twilight Town, but it sported a good business from commuters. As he pressed on, he noticed a line for the Twilight Town bound train.

"Locked down, most likely." He thought. "No going back by that way."

The walls of the station once featured large windows that gave an excellent view of the beach, but a surprise attack from the Dark Faction some 13 years back lead to a fortifying of government buildings, including the train stations. The walls were now set up to take direct cannon hits, with small windows that were too high to be of use. Rho couldn't help but which the big windows were still around.

He managed to push through the crowd and exit through the main doors. An impressive view of the beachfront extended out before him. He took it in a moment, then looked back at Dawn to see her reaction.

 

{Thet: Twilight Town; Market Street}

Thet nodded sadly.

"It is a shame that the worlds have become so accustom to the violence and war." She said, and meant it.

She had once been part of the struggle between Light and Darkness. She had even been naïve enough to think she was making a difference.

"But what can normal people do in the face of such power?" She asked, subtly watching Le Chef closely for his response.

 

{Alexi}

Alexi led Chi through the portal, which promptly closed behind both of them. The two travelers ended up in at the edge of an oasis, burning sands extending out seemingly forever beyond the haven.

"This is the world, Agrabah." Alexi told Chi, trying to see if there was any flicker of recognition. "A world safer then most. Now, can you tell me something about yourself, Chi?"

 

{Zandra: Hollow Bastion; Old Castle}

The thrown coat landed on Zandra as she remained laying on the ground.

"And why should I trust you?" The former neophyte asked.

She looked up at Severus, and despite her recent loss, she managed a look that said she wasn't defeated.

"You're working with him. Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you too."

 

{Freyja: The Yggdrasil; Atlantica}

"Dragging the Mirage Arena would drain power reserves and might be noticeable by both Light and Dark forces." The AI reported. "Beyond those concerns, the plan has a 86.3% chance of being effective."

 

{Queen Mercedes: Twilight Town; Sandlot}

The Queen of Disney eyed Zion for a moment, causing those who knew more about the monarch's reputation to tense up. But the moment passed, and she nodded.

"Very well." She said. "If you have any difficulties, do not hesitate to seek me out."

With that, Mercedes turned and walked away. She eyed the fallen Braxen, seemingly unsurprised by his presence.

"Name?" She asked as she strode by him.

 

{Alph & Cron: Home; Canteen}

Cron glanced at Alph.

"Oh, boy." She said. "Best not do the macho thing and stare him down."

Before Hotaru could react to Cron's suggestion, Alph stood up suddenly, his stool toppling over from the movement.

"Got something to say, Wielder?" Alph demanded.

Cron rolled her eyes and poured her drink from the shaker to her glass.
